Newsletter Aerogram WINTER ISSUE JANUARY 2019 AEROGRAM NEWSLETTER HAMMONDSPORT, NY CURTISSMUSEUM.COM AEROGRAM 01 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR It’s hard to believe that 2018 has come and gone. Though the weather didn’t always cooperate with us, we hope you enjoyed the year as much as we did! It was a remarkable year filled with outstanding people, programs, and events from Wintercycle Therapy in February, the Curtiss Classic Golf Tournament in August, and Wings and Wheels in September. Our C-46 got a face-lift, and our new entrance will be completed by the time the ball drops on January 1. We have so many people to thank, but above all we could not do it without the support of our friends and partners like you. So THANK YOU from all of us! As we look ahead to 2019, we are extremely excited about the events and programs in store. In addition to our annual events and the many educational programs offered throughout the spring and summer, we are looking forward to a truly historic celebration. Next year marks the 100th anniversary of a remarkable and little known achievement deserving of greater praise and recognition. In May 1919 three Navy-Curtiss (NC) flying boats departed Rockaway Beach, but only one would reach its destination. Over the ensuing weeks the aircraft and their crews endured mechanical trouble, poor weather, and daunting North Atlantic as they attempted the first trans-Atlantic crossing by air via Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Azores, and Portugal before finally coming to rest in Plymouth, England. Next year the Curtiss Museum will recognize this outstanding achievement with a special exhibit and associated programming to shed light on this all-but-forgotten achievement.

Back Cover 02 AEROGRAM AEROGRAM 03 WINGS & WHEELS 2018 Great weather brought record crowds to Hammondsport September 15th and 16th for Wings & Wheels 2018! The annual seaplane fly-in and classic/exotic car show was a resounding success for the Curtiss Museum and the greater Hammondsport area. Eighteen aircraft and more than one hundred cars filled the skies and streets around Hammondsport for two days of motorized fun. For those in attendance, it was truly an event to remember. More than 104 years after leaving the Curtiss factory in 1914, an original Curtiss Model F returned to Hammondsport for a few last flights before heading to its new home in Stowe, MA. This year’s special visitor was the result of more than two years of restoration work by Century Aviation in Wenatchee, WA. Rescued from a barn in Connecticut, the aircraft was essentially intact except for a few places where time and Mother Nature ate away at its fabric and other less-than- robust pieces. With the restoration complete, local pilot and Keuka Lake native Rob Kinyoun was contracted to test fly the aircraft in Washington prior to its trip to NY. With only minor adjustments needed before its trip east, the Century Aviation crew packed up the “F-Boat” on its specialized trailer; Hammondsport or bust! Once on location in Hammondsport, the Model F became the main attraction during the week surrounding the Wings and Wheels event. Though it only flew a handful of times, the sound of an original OX-5 engine pushing the homegrown aircraft across the water was a truly remarkable event and a profound achievement for the Century Aviation team. 04 AEROGRAM AEROGRAM 05 COMING MAY 2019 “FIRST ACROSS” EXHIBIT PREVIEW Next year marks the 100th anniversary of the first trans-Atlantic crossing by air. In recognition of this historic event, the Curtiss Museum will be presenting a series of opportunities for the public to engage with us as we learn more about the people and machines who made it possible. Below is an excerpt from a manuscript published by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company in 1919 titled “The Flight Across the Atlantic.” ABOVE Photograph shows Navy-Curtiss Flying Boat NC-4 in Ponta Dellgada, the Azores, Portugal after its first trans-Atlantic journey in 1919 (George Grantham Bain Collection – Library of Congress). A faint but penetrating hum grew in the sunset over Lisbon. It was an alien sound to the old city beside the Tagus. It seemed to have no location, but to diffuse itself through the sky, growing in volume and intensity. Suddenly with a jet of steam the U.S.S. Shawmut and the U.S.S. Rochester sent a shrilling answer. “There she is!” came a voice, cutting the great spaces like a thin ray of light. Sirens, guns of Fort San Julian and Bugio, cannon of Portuguese warships, and the shouts of innumerable men on land and water echoed from wall to wall of the natural amphitheatre. A silhouette became visible against rosy banners of cloud. It gathered definite shape, the noise of its motors became loud and thundering. With a gleam of wings the NC-4, completing the first flight ever made by men across the Atlantic ocean, dove in a wide spiral toward the river and came to rest upon it as lightly as the vessel of a dream. 06 AEROGRAM CURTISS GLIDER ART WILDER’S RESTORATION SHOP UPDATE P-40 WARHAWK The P-40 project is making progress. We continue to work on the cable controls ELEVATOR PLANS P-40 from the control stick and rudder pedals to the tail surfaces. This involves many pulleys in specialized mountings attached to the fuselage bulkheads. We are machining parts to adapt several donated propeller blades from a C-47 to the original prop hub, and these are coming along nicely. CURTISS GLIDER Our dedicated crew is also continuing work on the Curtiss Glider’s. The internal wiring of the wing is close to completion and we are making progress on connecting the ailerons. ALBANY FLYER The last wing sections for the Albany Flyer are painted, and assembly of the aeroplane is continuing in the main shop. RESTORATIONS ALBANY FLYER OX5 AVIATION PIONEERS The Curtiss Wing and our Museum hosted the 2018 reunion of this group October 12th through 14th. Attendees from Alaska and all over the continental U.S. were in attendance. Three men were inducted into the OX5 Hall of Fame, including former Curtiss Museum volunteer and pilot Jim Poel. Jim’s brother, Chuck and daughter, Debbie, were in attendance.

However, it was Baldwin’s publicity in 1904 at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition that put Curtiss in the aeronautical spotlight and sparked a flurry of activity here in Hammondsport. As to dirigibles, we know Glenn partnered with Baldwin in 1907 to build the Army’s first lighter-than-air machine, the SC-1. What has been forgotten is that just a few short months after taking his first ride in one that year, Glenn H. Curtiss actually set an aeronautical endurance record in Hammondsport. On November 26th, 1907, while giving a demonstration of the durability of his engines to the U. S. Army, Glenn stayed aloft in a dirigible under motor power for four consecutive hours beating the previous record by one hour. This revelation came under the headlines in several major newspapers of: ANOTHER AERIAL RECORD IS GONE, Shattered by G.

  • How Western New York Gave Wings to the World
    How Western New York Gave Wings to the World --by M.E. Sterns ON AUGUST 25, 1886, there was a report in the Buffalo Courier concerning a paper read before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, whose 35th annual meeting was held in Buffalo that summer. The paper, presented by a Mr. Lancaster, was on the subject of flight and the newspaper article noted that: "Some of the members of the association seem to be in a quandary as to whether Mr. Lancaster is a crank; or a sharp practical joker who has been giving the great association of America's savants guff. On Monday, as has been duly reported, they quite unanimously joined in reviling and laughing at him." "An early Curtiss Pusher in a mowed hay field. Some of them flew, some of them didn't." So was the subject of flight treated by some of the nation's most progressive scientific minds in 1886. Fortunately, however, there were some who disagreed with the scientists of the time on the matter of flight --- men who could already see in their mind's eye the "flying contraptions" that were soon to be a reality. A group of these early air age enthusiasts lived in Buffalo during the latter part of the last century, and beginning with them, Western New York became an area where many of aviation's great firsts were performed or developed. MOST OF THESE MEN originally belonged to one of the many cycling clubs that were formed in the Buffalo area in the late 1800's, among them the Buffalo Bicycle Club (sometimes known as the High Wheel Club), the Press Cycling Club, the Ramblers, the East Side Cyclers and the Eldredge Club, of Tonawanda.

    Episode 6, NC-4: First Across the Atlantic, Pensacola, Florida and Hammondsport, NY Elyse Luray: Our first story examines a swatch of fabric which may be from one of history’s most forgotten milestones: the world's first transatlantic flight. May 17th, 1919. The Portuguese Azores. Men in whaling ships watched the sea for their prey, harpoons at the ready. But on this morning, they make an unexpected and otherworldly sighting. A huge gray flying machine emerges from the fog, making a roar unlike anything they have ever heard before. Six American airmen ride 20,000 pounds of wood, metal, fabric and fuel, and plunge gently into the bay, ending the flight of the NC-4. It was journey many had thought impossible. For the first time, men had flown from America to Europe, crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean. But strangely, while their voyage was eight years before Charles Lindbergh's flight, few Americans have ever heard of the NC-4. Almost 90 years later, a woman from Saratoga, California, has an unusual family heirloom that she believes was a part of this milestone in aviation history. I'm Elyse Luray and I’m on my way to meet Shelly and hear her story. Hi. Shelly: Hi Elyse. Elyse: Nice to meet you. Shelly: Come on in. Elyse: So is this something that has always been in your family? Shelly: Yeah. It was passed down from my grandparents. Here it is. Elyse: Okay. So this is the fabric. Wow! It's in wonderful condition. Shelly: Yeah, it's been in the envelope for years and years.

  • Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale
    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time.

  • Planning Document: Revolutions in the Sky‐Early Flight
    Planning Document: Revolutions in the Sky‐Early Flight ‐Theme Statement: In one short decade the airplane grew from an ancient dream into the reality of a machine that would shape the future. Between the first flights at Kitty Hawk and the opening guns of WWI, the design and construction of aircraft and engines, once the work of a handful of individuals laboring in garages and home workshops, became a global industrial enterprise, supported by the world’s governments, which promised to exercise enormous impact on society, politics and culture in war and peace. Fueled by the excitement of the first air races, meets and exhibitions, a wave of public enthusiasm for aviation circled the globe. The men and women who flew ever higher, faster and farther emerged as the great heroes of the era. The stage was set for a new age shaped by the fact that human beings can fly ‐Big Ideas: Innovation – How did we learn to fly? What people and ideas contributed to the invention of the airplane? Industrialization: How did technical change and improvement occur, 1903‐1914? What factors led to technological advance? How did aviation grow to become an important industry?

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.
